Dodgers Announce Latest Round of Spring Training Cuts

"Out of the group, Ehrhard and Tibbs were really impressive. They were both part of the return package from the Dustin May trade during July. Tibbs had three home runs over 43 at-bats, hitting .326/.389/.551 with 10 RBIs and six walks. His 20 strikeouts are alarming, but they also showcase his aggressiveness when hitting."

"Gervase was an intriguing player heading into camp, and he remains one after Spring Training. Up until Monday, he has pitched the fourth most innings, putting up a 2.89 ERA, one walk, and 11 strikeouts. He will be a name the Dodgers can call up when they need coverage in long-relief situations or spot starts."

"This group of players was never pushing for a spot on the active roster, by all accounts, with them serving as depth pieces over 162 games or still needing development in the minor leagues as prospects."

The Dodgers made significant roster cuts following their 24-9 Spring Training loss to Milwaukee. Paul Gervase and Michael Siani were optioned to the minor leagues, while six additional players were reassigned to minor league camp. The group included pitcher Cole Irvin, righty Ryder Ryan, infielder Noah Miller, and outfielders Zach Ehrhard, Zyhir Hope, and James Tibbs III. These players served as depth pieces or prospects requiring continued development. Ehrhard and Tibbs, acquired in the Dustin May trade, showed particular promise with strong offensive performances. Gervase pitched effectively with a 2.89 ERA and 11 strikeouts, positioning himself as a potential call-up option for long relief or spot starts.
